Default playing waveforms that are clipped to begin with

Is it dangerous to play MP3/WAV files that, when viewing their waveform in
an editor program, show that the waveform is clipped at the loudest
points? I understand that speakers are in danger when head units or
amplifiers clip a signal, but I do have a number of
digital music files that seem to contain clipping to begin with, and I am
afraid I may be causing damage to my speakers or sub.

Thanks for any help,
George
